Magrodar Crater — Pokémon Rejuvenation Crater Guide
Magrodar Crater is the volcanic bowl on Terajuma Island, just south of Teila Resort — a small area that hides two things most players walk past: item pickups that only exist at night, and a Chimchar that takes twelve Charcoals to wake up.

What is here
The crater is reached from Teila Resort and is built around pushable rocks. All four of its items only exist after dark, because the rocks float at night and open routes that are solid ground by day. If you visited in daylight and found nothing, that is why.
The area's set piece is Tapu Koko, fought on the Dragon's Den Field in a double battle alongside Tesla's shiny Charizard — which arrives as an SOS Pokémon, is resummoned one turn after it faints, and holds a Charizardite X. Tapu Koko opens the fight with a shield up, so the battle runs longer than the level gap suggests.
| Landmark | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Entrance, right side | Where the Sun Stone and its neighbouring Zygarde Cell sit — past a pushable rock, at night only. |
| Lava section | Past it on the right are a Charcoal and a second Zygarde Cell, again behind a pushable rock and again night only. |
| Chimchar's ledge | At night the rocks float, which is the only way to reach Chimchar. Bringing it twelve Charcoals restores its energy and lets you fight it. |
| Dragon's Den Field | The battle field for the Tapu Koko encounter. Bring a double-battle plan. |
Before you go
- Come at night. All four items and the entire Chimchar encounter are gated on it, and nothing in the crater's daytime state tells you so.
- Collect Charcoals before you go looking for Chimchar — you need twelve, and the one lying in the crater is for a different purpose.
- Both Pokémon Rangers hold berries that blunt super-effective hits, so plan around a resisted move rather than a strong one.
- The Tapu Koko fight is a double battle with a shield on its side. The Charizard SOS target keeps coming back, so removing it is not the win condition.
- Bring an answer to Fire and Rock. Magcargo and Numel together are more than a quarter of the grass encounters and hit many of the same Pokémon.

Magrodar Crater FAQ
Why can't I find the items in Magrodar Crater?
They are night-only. The Sun Stone and the Charcoal, and the two Zygarde Cells beside them, all sit behind pushable rocks that only float after dark.
How do I get Chimchar in Magrodar Crater?
Come at night, when the rocks float and the ledge opens. Chimchar needs twelve Charcoals to regain its energy before it will fight you, and it is a level 25 interact encounter rather than a wild spawn.
Is there a boss in Magrodar Crater?
Yes — Tapu Koko. It is a double battle on the Dragon's Den Field, fought alongside Tesla's shiny Charizard, which arrives as an SOS Pokémon and is resummoned a turn after it faints. Tapu Koko begins the fight with a shield.
What can I catch in Magrodar Crater?
Spinda, Magcargo, Koffing, Weezing, Numel, Mawile and Kangaskhan in the grass at levels 30–39. Chimchar is the eighth entry and needs the night-time puzzle solved first.
How do I reach Magrodar Crater?
It is south of Teila Resort on Terajuma Island, and that is the only connection the wiki records for the area.
